Orbi rbk50 90% performance drop over 2-3 days, memory leak?
I found another post, it seems there are hundreds of people reporting symptoms where their 300Mbps connection drops to 30Mbps. Completely unacceptable known issue. I updated the firmware but I c...
" I would try turning down the power output of the RBR from 100% to say 75 or 50% Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings. "
Helpful advice here. I just knocked it down to 75%, let's see if that increases performance. today.
Ok, so I think that power cycled or did something because now I'm back to what I usually see after a power cycle, 150Mbps . I expect it to go to sh$t back down to 10-15Mbps in a few days.
Under ADVANCED WIRELESS SETTINGS, I also noticed this, none of those were checked. Seems like the first one is a no-brainer, but I''m not putting any checks in anything and changing things one thing at a time.
Enable Implicit BEAMFORMING - Boosts WiFi speed, reliability, & range for all mobile devices
Why would anyone want that disabled? That seems like choosing 'disable good things'.
Screw it, I also put a checkmark in 'enable implicit beamforming'. The KB article says it's enabled by default, but it was disabled on mine, first time I'm seeing this so now way I turned it off.
Hi,
I'm facing the same issue you have. The only option left for me is resetting the router to factory.
My router is a RBR40, 2.3.5.30 firmware version. I saw other people with same issue with RBR40, but got no solution to it.A little brief about the issue:
I updated the router, everything went well. After some days I saw my network speed down to 10Mbps (file copying, inside the network wired to wifi ), I noticed that my wireless speed was something between 14mbps and 30Mbps... I rebooted the router and got 866mbps again. After few days (5 or 6 days) the wireless connection dropped to 10-30mbps again.
Did the factory reset and setup from scratch resolve your problem then?
